US President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Linda McMahon, a retired professional wrestling performer, to head the Education Department draws attention to a memorable stage feud he had with the latter’s husband, Vince McMahon, in the WWE ring in 2007. The event took place at the Fore Field Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

During their ‘Battle of Billionaires at WrestleMania-23, the duo backed one wrestler each to represent them and agreed to a bet in which the loser would have his head shaved. To make the match electrifying, Trump and McMahon engaged in some physical antics.

While Trump fielded Bobby Lashley, McMahon backed Umaga. After Umaga lost to Lashley in the ring, Trump shaved McMahon's head. The televised fued drew massive cheers from the audience, making it one the most memorable and talked-about face-offs in the ring.
